Firethorn Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Well after a long winter and spring fixin' her up she is ready for a splash. Hope to get out and finally sail Saturday or Sunday, still working out the details with the family schedule. So drink up me hearty's and cross yer bones and wish me luck! ~Captain William Firethorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dog Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 Wow, you hid the gunports really well! Beautiful craft mate, now I be wantin'a new one. So what course do you plan to sail, any destination in mind? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firethorn Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 Aye...we be keepin' the 'Swivelgun' down below decks, but nonetheless handy if the need arises. As for course, we plan to be navigating the Barnegat Bay, a one time refuge for pirates back in the day. Not much booty these days unless yer lookin' fer clams and blue claw crabs.

Firethorn Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 Why yes she has milady Siren! I wanted a more 'piratey' name but if was a tough sell to the family. So we went with 'Floridaze' as the 'official name'. We love Florida and love to visit whenever we can. So I took the Jimmy Buffet song 'Floridays' and made the change to from days to daze since that is usually our state of mind when it comes to planning a vacation down to the 'Sunshine State' I even bought a Florida state flag to fly along with a pirate flag of course. :) PS. As for her 'unofficial' pirate name, well I kinda liked 'Jersey Rebel'. But don't tell the family. S/V Floridaze...aka Jersey Rebel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or would you feel the roll of a stout ship beneath your feet again?" ---Captain William Kidd--- (1945) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
